Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cod fillets
4 (6-ounce) fillets
Mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, asparagus)
4 cups, chopped
Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme, dill)
1/4 cup, chopped
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Lemon
1, juiced and sliced for garnish
Olive oil
4 tablespoons
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a zesty marinade.
  3. Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the marinade evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange the mixed vegetables around the cod fillets on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
